Thank you, Al Haymon. Fighters are properly looked after, and they're positioned to take care of their families for the risk of putting their lives on the line.

Take a good long vacation/chill at the house, put the body through a 4-6 week mini-camp come the fall, and see how everything is reacting; if the desire to fight is still there, have your camp look to set something up to close out the year (say a tick-over 8 rounder at 135), before laying the path to a title for 2017.

His property is paid off and his car balances are paid off. Very smart.

That's the first thing all boxers should do once they start getting decent money. Secure the roof over your head and become debt free.

Life becomes a lot easier after that: if you keep making money then go ahead and splurge but in the event that you have to stop fighting you at least have a place to crash that is all yours. No rent, no mortgage

Instead guys are out there wasting their cash on gator skin Lambos and gold plated Benzes.

How about you just not good enough to beat Loma? Your weight is not the reason you got KTFO!

So I'm pretty sure you would say that Salido's weight didn't make a difference when he fought Loma?

I dont remember Loma getting completely tooled and Knocked the F_k out by Orlando Salido...and I dont recall Loma coming in the ring 20 lbs overweight in against Martinez. Martinez simply has no business in the ring with Loma, its a mismatch of skills not weight!

Angry that HBO paid big bucks for that mismatch but Crawford-Postol is PPV

That fight will cost 2x at least. It's tough with the budget crunch but maybe they'd still do it if the opponent was more appealing. Like if he brought some fans or clinched less
